Limitations from the README
- IntelliVibe Lighting: IntelliVibe devices are app/cloud-only and are not exposed on the local IntelliCenter protocol, so they cannot be integrated. This is consistent across open-source IntelliCenter projects (see #114).
- Equipment Coverage: Tested primarily with standard configurations. Some equipment may have limited testing.
- Unit Changes: Reload integration after changing metric/imperial on IntelliCenter.
- Configuration Changes: Reload integration after significant pool configuration changes.
In ReReHome
Whatever HomeKit Bridge shares reaches Apple Home as normal HomeKit accessories behind your Home Assistant bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls them like any other.
Bridges get their own settings page listing the accessories behind them.
